IP Address

IP Address specifies the cluster node number and IP address for the 
selected node. If the cluster node number or IP address changes for the selected 
node, the new information is not automatically updated in NDS. Edit the 
information and click Apply to update the information in NDS.

NCP Server

The NCP Server field is used to view the context for the NetWare Server 
object. This field cannot be edited. 

Migrate Resources

You can migrate resources to different servers in your cluster without waiting 
for a failure to occur. You might want to migrate resources to lessen the load 
on a specific server, to free up a server so it can be brought down for scheduled 
maintenance, or to increase the performance of the resource or application by 
putting it on a faster machine.

Migrating resources allows you to balance the load and evenly distribute 
applications among the servers in your cluster.

1.

In ConsoleOne, browse and select the Cluster object that contains 
the resource you want to migrate.

Resources must be in a running state to be migrated.

2.

Ensure the right half of ConsoleOne displays the Cluster View State 
by selecting VIEW > CLUSTER STATE from the menu at the top of 
the screen.

3.

In the Cluster Resource List, select the resource you want to migrate.

The Cluster Resource Manager screen appears, displaying the server the 
selected resource is currently running on, and a list of possible servers to 
which you can migrate resources.

4.

Select a server from the list and click Migrate to move the resource 
to the selected server.

N o t e  

If you select a resource and click Offline, the resource will be unloaded from the 
server. It will not load on any other servers in the cluster and will remain
